<p>The Inclusive Transport Strategy sets out our ambition to create a transport system
that provides equal access for disabled people by 2030. Within the Inclusive Transport
Strategy, we have set out our plans to make the rail network more accessible including
the commitment to extend the Access for All programme with an additional £300m, which
as I announced on 4 April will deliver accessibility improvements at a further 73
stations between 2019 and 2024.</p><p> </p><p>We will monitor the delivery of the
rail commitments within the Inclusive Transport Strategy, and evaluate its impact
to see what progress has been made towards ensuring the rail network becomes more
accessible. Progress is already being made - 75% of rail journeys are now made through
step free stations, compared to only 50% in 2005.</p><p> </p>
